About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves in the dairy aisle, a Meijer employee noticed something peculiar. Every time he reached for a carton of milk, it seemed to whisper softly: ‘Fresh… fresh…’ It wasn’t until other workers started reporting similar whispers that the store began to take notice. Finally, one night, an old janitor decided to stay late and investigate. Following the sound, he found a misplaced speaker from the store’s automated announcements hidden behind some boxes. The next day, everyone laughed when they realized the milk was just repeating the recorded voice of a regular customer saying, 'Gotta grab some fresh milk!'
2. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of apples, he wondered aloud: ‘I bet these taste better than my wife’s pie filling.’ That night, his wife tried the mysterious apples in her pie and declared it the best she’d ever made. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was talking about the magical Meijer apples. The delivery driver became something of a local hero—until someone finally asked where he bought those special apples. Turns out they were just ordinary Red Delicious variety, but nobody cared anymore; they believed in their magic anyway.
3. One night, a cashier asked an elderly customer, ‘Did you know our bananas are from Antarctica?’ The old man replied, ‘No, but they’re cold enough for me!’ A few days later, a delivery driver overheard another conversation in the banana aisle: 'I heard these bananas are so cold because they come from Antarctica,' said one regular. Smiling, his neighbor responded, 'That's why they're always so firm!'
4. While restocking the canned goods section one afternoon, a Meijer worker overheard a puzzled voice say, 'I thought these jars were supposed to be smaller.' Curious, the employee looked around and saw no one. Then, from behind the shelves came another voice: ‘Hey, did you get the right size?’ Turns out, it was just an echo playing tricks on them both. After that, everyone in the store started calling Meijer’s canned goods section ‘the talking aisle.’
